A magnetic resonance system has a base body embodying a magnet system that
generates magnetic fields in an excitation region on the base body, a
patient bed that is movable in a travel direction through a travel region
relative to the base body, the patient bed receiving an examination
subject thereon to move the examination subject through the examination
region, a local coil that is operable in combination with the magnet
system to generate magnetic resonance signals in the examination subject
and to detect the magnetic resonance signals resulting therefrom, and an
evaluation device that evaluates the magnetic resonance signals detected
by the local coil. A base body coupling element, at a predetermined base
body location, is connected to the evaluation device. A patient bed
coupling element, located at a predetermined patient bed location, is
connected to the local coil. The base body and patient bed coupling
elements feed the magnetic resonance signals to the evaluation device
when, and as long as, the patient bed has moved by a predetermined
segment of the travel region.
